Green home

I just had our house and studio assessed for its power and water use. Mostly it seems we can improve our power efficiency by adding under floor insulation and extra insulation in the roof. Another suggestion was to add styrofoam cladding to the outside of the house - ugly and and toxic.

Despite the elaborate amount of techy gear I use for editing I was pleasantly surprised to find out our power use for our home and studio is relatively low, partly because we don't run alot of appliances and also because our wood heater is so efficient. We now qualify for the $10,000 no interest Green Loan so we can more readily afford to add insulation and get heat saving window fittings. With solar panels on the way we are slowly making our way towards a green retrofit home and studio.
